Topic: Just wanted to share a joy and thanksgiving (Read 710 times)

One of my very good friends and colleagues at our university, Dr. Kim Whitehead, was named Humanities Teacher of the Year in our state. Kim teaches creative writing and also a class called Religions of the World. Last year, she and a number of her students attended a Divine Liturgy at my parish (she is a very strong adherent of the concept of "experiential learning"). Father Chris perhaps remembers her.

I am just so happy for her and wanted to praise the Lord for this. Thought I might share this with you folks.

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

As a result of a thousand million years of evolution, the universe is becoming conscious of itself, able to understand something of its past history and its possible future.-- Sir Julian Sorell Huxley FRS

""Love is a dangerous thing. It will crush you if you trust it. But without it you can never be whole. Love crucifies, but love saves. We will either be saved together with love, or damned alone without it." Selam, +GMK+
